I've seen adaptors for both tasks: AT keyboard to PS/2, and PS/2 keyboard to AT. Both work, cost about $5 at electronic suppliers. Electrically the keyboards are the same, assuming they are "standard". The signals that are actually used are the same; the plugs are just wired differently. -- Mike Schuster | CIS: 70346,1745 NY Public Access UNIX: ...cmcl2!panix!schuster | MCI Mail, GENIE: The Portal (R) System: schuster@cup.portal.com | MSCHUSTER
